Summary: Gender As An Act
Comment: Painter Deborah Kass (b. 1952) recycles the style and appearance of Andy Warhol's silk-screened portraits, creating a series of homages to strong women she admires like Barbara Streisand and Gertrude Stein. Art historian Linda Nochlin, in an essay in Deborah Kass: Warhol Project, writes, "Gender is an act, Kass seems to be saying, but it is an act with consequences. For the Jewish lesbian artist who wants to make something of her complex identity, the consequences are particularly interesting." Five essays position and discuss Kass's art and take on the issue of whether or not there is a lesbian aesthetic. I loved Kass's use of irony and humor, and her appropriation of Warhol's signature styles to project a different slant on content.
